denis leary will join us in studio 57. but first, we begin with a look at the day's "eye opener," your world in 90 seconds. >> the federal government -- >> what they said to arizona is drop dead, arizona. drop dead and go away. we're going to ignore you. >> the supreme court rules on arizona's controversial immigration law. >> three of the four contested provisions thrown out but one very controversial show me your papers provision left in place. >> the power for police to ask about one's immigration status when they have reasonable suspicion to do so. >> reasonable suspicion. what in the world is that? >> reasonable suspicion. define it. >> now you need to go to law school. tropical storm debby is stalled off florida's gulf coast. >> there are 35,000 people without power. >> four to eight additional inches of rainfall. >> we declared a state of emergency to coordinate state resources. >> rescuers plucking a family of

nine from a vacation house. >> out west, fire crews in colorado are trying to contain eight huge wildfires. >> we may have to go help the other side. stay alive. according to the "wall street journal" -- >> if you use a mackintosh computer on orbitz, chances are you'll pay more for a hotel room. starting today, charging $1 to print your boarding pass. >> a couple tuck a plunge literally this weekend. the dock they were standing on gave way during a photo shoot. >> are your parents upset about the fact that you're a sex symbol and all of these things? >> well, i can't help it. they made me really. >> and all that matters. >> third base -- >> i just want to say, thank you for youkilis. >> on "cbs this morning." >> everybody was doing winning, duh, winning. >> what was i talking about? i lost my children, my job, my money, my stature, my mind.

what was i winning? welcome to "cbs this morning." police and politicians are trying to come to grips with the supreme court's decision on aizona's controversial immigration law. the justices ruled unanimously monday that police in arizona are allowed to check any suspect's immigration status. >> however, in a 5-3 vote, the court struck down three other parts of the law requiring immigrants to carry registration papers where ever they go, making it illegal for undocumented workers to seek work or hold a job in arizona, and allowing police to arrest suspected illegal immigrants without a warrant. jan crawford is outside of the supreme court. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, erica and charlie. good morning to all of you in the west. here in washington, and certainly out there in arizona and in the west, this was a decision that didn't make anyone happy. the court really struck that careful balance, as you said.

they upheld a key part of the law but struck down other parts. so we a democrats and republicans scrambling to put a spin on a mixed decision. the court unianimously agreed t hold up the part of the law known as show me your papers, requiring police to check the immigration status of people stopped for another violation. but the obama administration could also claim at least a partial victory. the court threw down some limits on arizona, striking down parts of the law that created new state crimes for immigration violations, ruling that immigration enforcement was the federal government's job. that left the two presidential candidates who have very different views on immigration praising and criticizing completely different parts of the decision. president obama said in a statement he was pleased that the supreme court had struck down key provisions of arizona's immigration law, but he didn't stop there, adding he is concerned about the practical impact of the remaining provision, the one requiring immigration background checks.

presumptive republican nominee mitt romney, who was in arizona monday, said at a fundraiser that he, quote, would have preferred the supreme court to give more latitude to the states, not less. romney has said immigration would be a priority for his first year in office but has not gone into specifics about what he would do as he tries to appeal to latino voters without alienating conservatives. that balancing act led to a contentious exchange between a romney spokesperson and reporters asking for more details. >> does the governor agree with the supreme court or arizona? >> well, our position is clear on that. >> it's not. >> it is. the president failed to address illegal immigration. >> reporter: republican senator marco rubio, himself the son of cuban immigrants, told charlie rose that it underscores the need for federal immigration reform. >> i think they have a constitutional right top pass a law like this. but i don't think it's a

national model. >> reporter: the obama campaign believes that politically at least this law wasn't so bad. the administration is going to continue to fight against it. the president yesterday suggested that one provision could lead to racial profiling. all of that of course could help rally hispanics, which as we have discussed could be decisive in november. charlie and erica? >> jan, let's focus on the opinions of two people. first, justice scalia and then chief justice roberts. >> reporter: well, talk about two different opinions from two very different justices. you know, justice scalia is that colorful, brilliant intellectual. and increasingly has just gotten more audacious. we saw him during the arguments really going after the lawyers. and yesterday, his decision was almost over the top. he said the court's decision which he disagreed with when they struck down those three provisions boggled the mind. and he went on to say how states will be under siege. very colorful language. but do you know how many justices voted with him to support him in his decision? zero. he got no other votes in that

did dissent. what i thought was interesting was that chief justice john roberts. we think of him as always siding with the conservatives, helping to anchor that conservative bloc on the supreme court. yesterday, he walked over and joined the liberals with that moderate justice kennedy to give that decisive fifth vote. why this is interesting is not just for immigration but of course that decision that we are awaiting on thursday, the big ruling about the president's health care reform. how will roberts vote in that case? how will kennedy vote in that case? we're going to find out shortly after 10:00 on thursday. >> jan, thank you. we can't wait to get to that. also in washington this morning, cbs news political director john dickerson. good morning. let's begin with the political fallout in terms of two candidates and the campaigns for the presidency. >> well, the political fallout here of the immigration decision is basically it's a split decision. it's beneficial for the president.

he gets to talk about the arizona law which is unpopular with hispanics. he gets to rally that group very strongly in favor of him. governor romney obviously trying to stay away from the issue during the primaries. he was anxious to align himself with the interests of arizona. in this case, he tried to keep the focus on the president saying this decision of the supreme court came about because the president has failed to move on immigration, and arizona had to take matters into its own hands. >> how does romney plan to handle this? he was very strong in his appeal to conservatives in the primary. and now he's in a general election in which the hispanic vote is very important. >> well, he basically is going to make the same pitch to hispanics that he is making to the rest of the country. the economy is bad, that hispanics have been hit by the bad economy, and that he has a plan to turn the economy around. so the message will be essentially the same, and he's going to move on. there's no way really he can kind of run to the middle or get to the left of where he was in the primaries and not be seen as totally inauthentic.

he'll just try to get the focus back on the economy. >> when it came to this question as we saw there on the plane, his spokesperson giving a nonanswer. there's been some criticism that governor romney needs to start getting more specific. is this the time for him to do that? >> well, if the economy continues to weaken and governor romney can convince voters to make the election a referendum about barack obama, then he could stay vague and evasive. but a lot of the call for the specifics that you mentioned is not just from the press corps frustrated by the total lack of nourishment but from conservatives. the romney campaign says they have been specific, but the specifics are the kind like we see in drug ads where they see a pretty picture of improved health but two pages of fine print. and it's that fine print that romney never talks about. and that the election should be about. >> john dickerson, thank you very much. florida is under a state of emergency this morning as tropical storm debby sits off

the gulf coast in no apparent rush to make landfall. >> debby has barely budged in fact in the past 72 hours, just socking florida with flood-producing rains, winds, and high winds and tornadoes. and it is not over yet. another eight inches of rain is possible over the next few days. michelle miller is in st. petersburg. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, erica and charlie, and good morning to our viewers across the west. the winds and the surf are ferocious here as they are throughout much of the northwest coast of florida. all 67 counties are under that level one state of emergency. and while no national guard troops have been activated, nor has the state requested any federal emergency disaster assistance, florida's governor, rick scott, is urging, pleading with residents not to take debby lightly. for four days now, debby has stalled in the gulf, dumping 10

to 15 inches of rain on hundreds of floridians from fort myers across the panhandle. the system hasn't even made landfall, and already it's drenched the state and triggered at least 20 reports of tornadoes. >> all of a sudden, it gets very quiet. and i go, oh. and then i heard this explode. and then i heard this pow. >> reporter: 73-year-old cleo robertson anxiously watched as a possible twister closed in on her home in hard-hit area on sunday. >> this is the roof from here. >> reporter: it tore through her neighbor's home before jumping to hers, one of the oldest houses in the community. >> all the people came out of this apartment, six of them, scared to death. and they had to be evacuated because their roof was gone. >> reporter: another reported tornado ripped through highlands county, killing a woman as she held onto her young child. >> i could picture her holding the baby and not letting her go, just to know that my daughter was holding her baby so tight. >> reporter: the coast guard came to the rescue of another family and their two dog,

hoisting them to safety after water surrounded their vacation home. forecasters say flooding will pose the biggest threat over the next couple of days. residents waded in knee-deep water monday as sink holes popped up in other neighborhoods. a truck teeters over one gaping hole. by the end of the week, debby could dump more than two feet of rain on some coastal communities. while the storm has helped ease florida's drought conditions, most here are ready to see debby move on. and the problem here is that some 30,000 customers are without power as a result of this storm. and power officials tell us they expect many more as debby makes landfall. erica, charlie? >> michelle miller in st. petersburg, thank you. out west, the story is wildfires burning now in at least seven states. n colorado alone, eight large fires are burning. this morning, one fire near colorado springs knew overnight.

it is currently out of control. at least 6,000 people were forced to evacuate on monday. and there is so much smoke, pikes peak can barely be seen as you can see there. in central utah, wildfire threatens about 300 homes. there is new information this morning in the uproar over leaking classified information. national intelligence director james clapper announced new initiatives on monday to keep government secrets secret. >> sources say when employees of the cia, fbi, and other agencies take lie detector tests, they will be asked specifically if they have given information to reporters. nancy is on capitol hill this morning. nancy, are lawmakers satisfied with that response? >> well, erica, we'll find out today when republicans hold a press conference on the matter. what they are likely to say is this a good first step by the director of national intelligence requiring that all intelligence agencies when they conduct routine polygraphs ask their employees where they have been involved in leaks. and secondarily, saying that all

leaked cases, if they are not pursued by the department of justice, will still be investigated internally. but what republicans are also going to say is that what we are really concerned about is the leaks that have already happened. sensitive, counterterrorism operations. they don't believe that the administration can adequately investigate itself. and pursue these cases with criminal investigations if warranted. >> nancy, let me ask you about eric holder and the contempt charges that come out of the house. if there is a vote, will it be along straight party lines? >> most likely, charlie. that vote is scheduled on thursday. and of course this is related to a different matter. the department of justice's handling of that controversial gun running case called fast and furious. what republicans have said is that if holder hands over the documents they want by thursday, this vote could be cancelled. it could be postponed. but right now, it doesn't look like that's going to happen. the administration as you know has exerted executive privilege or the documents so it does look

like this will come down along straight party lines. >> nancy, thank you. the obama administration says it will send a senior official to meet with egypt's new president after the u.s. is assured that the military will give up power. on monday, mohamed morsi met with the powerful general who took control when hosni mubarak was forced from power. then morsi moved into the presidential palace. the lawyer for whitey bulger says he shouldn't go on trial in november because he had an immunity deal with the government protecting him from prosecution. bulger was arrested last year after 16 years on the run. he is charged in 19 murders. "newsweek" contributor has written extensively about the case. welcome. >> good morning. >> is there anything to this idea he can make a case because of immunity? >> there's not much chance of the murder charges being thrown out. but it's a significant

development. and yes, whitey bulger was a government informant and he did have some sort of relationship with the department of justice. and now with his attorney filing this motion, it means there's going to be an evidentiary hearing, and there will be a hearing on this. and it will be quite dramatic. it will be a full casting call of a lot of the people in the government, in the justice department, that have been handling bulger all those years. >> and fbi as well. >> and the fbi, sure. >> so what will we learn about the relationship between bulger and the fbi? >> well, we'll learn that he had some sort of arrangement with them. they knew he was a criminal. they knew he was a killer. this was part of the arrangement they had with him. we don't know if this was ever put down on paper. we don't know if it was spelled out on paper. we don't know how many supervisory people will in on this. we don't know who knew about it, who supervised it. >> are they talking? >> no, a lot of them are retired. they have gone on with their careers. in the history of the bulger

saga, not a single supervisory person in the justice department or the fbi has ever been held accountable for this relationship. so i imagine a lot of them are squirming in their seats with this information. >> but as you said too, we don't ppaper. there's anything on we don't really know what sort of proof there is of this arrangement. so how much will his claims hinge on that? >> well, there's an fbi agent, john connolly, sitting in prison down in florida for his relationship with bulger, his handling of bulger. so we know that there was a relationship. connolly was his direct handler. but what we don't know is who above that supervised that relationship. who else is culpable. >> beyond this, what's the most interesting thing we have found out about whitey bulger? >> well, we found out things that we have known about him. he is a master player. i think we have begun to get the sense it's quite possible that he is looking forward to this trial. >> how smart he is? >> well, it's his last big power

play. it's the last card he has to play. so i imagine he's relishing the idea of dragging all these people that he did business with in the government over the years, dragging them all out into the open. >> so it's his idea of his time to perform? >> it's his way of saying goodbye. >> it will be interesting to see. >> before i go off to the big house. >> yes. >> good to have you with us. thank you. >> thank you. sometime to show you some of the mornings's headlines around the globe. the "wall street journal" reporting that orbitz is suggesting more expensive hotels to people who use mac computers. orbitz made that change after finding mac users are likely to spend $20 to $30 a might more than people who use pcs. rupert murdoch's news corp. may split. the "chicago tribune" says that jesse jackson jr. is taking a medical leave of absence.

>> condoleezza rice is very, very well received. she's just an exceptional speaker, when she speaks from her heart without notes, she's just a master of the knowledge in her background and perspective. >> condoleezza rice is with us now from washington. p>> good morning.ood morning. >> here is what the press has been saying, or what people at the weekend retreat have said. spectacular, she rocked it, an impassioned plea. what did you say? >> well, i talked about the need for american leadership, i talked about the importance of the united states to a more peaceful world, a world that has been quite turbulent in recent years, and needs a strong american anchor, but i also talked about the essence of america, and i think perhaps that is what people resonated with, that this is a country in which people really believe that it doesn't matter where you came from, it matters where you're going and that we really need to concentrate on rebuilding our

strengths as a country of immigrants, a country where it doesn't really matter your zip code so that you can get a good education, and the need to really pay attention to those strengths so that we can lead from an internal strength at home. >> this was a retreat with and about governor romney. will his foreign policy be different than the foreign policy of president obama? >> what mitt romney will bring to the presidency -- and i believe he would be a very good president -- is he will bring first and foremost an understanding of the role the united states has to play in the world. he understands the essence of an america that believes in free markets and free peoples, and that that has really been the reason that the world has been moving toward more prosperity and greater freedom. he understands that we need to reassure our friends that, indeed, we're going to be with them, and that our foes have to respect, and indeed, fear us. and because he has those principles and those values, he'll be very good on the

foreign policy stage. >> so, what part of president obama's foreign policy and the decisions he has taken do you disagree with? >> look, i have said, and i continue to say, i understand how hard it is to be in the white house, how hard it is to be in the state department, but i do think we need a greater, more assertive america in the world. when things are moving in many different directions as they are, after great shocks to the system like 9/11 and the global financial and economic crisis, and now the positive shock of people insisting on their democratic rights, the united states can't lead from behind. the united states has to have a view, it has to gather people around that view, and frankly, i think we need to do more of that, and the last several years i think we've been lacking on that front. >> that's a point that people who look at the president on foreign policy say, including critics within his own party,

say he has extended and drilled down on the bush foreign policy, especially in terms of terrorism. >> well, there's no doubt that we have benefited from really now ten years of relative consistency when it comes to the war on terror. president bush left a lot of tools to president obama. he left him a military and intelligence integration that has worked extremely well, exceedingly well, as we were able to even bring bin laden to justice. there's no doubt that we've had consistency in the war on terror, and that is something to be grateful for, because i think it is why we have not been struck again. but there is more than terrorism in foreign policy, and i would just make two points. first, we really do need to have a view. it cannot be the lowest common denominator view of the international community through the security council and u.n. and secondly, they lies on

building our strengths at home, so continuing to borrow money we cannot afford, entitlements. if we don't get a handle on who we are at home and fix our multiple problems at home, then we will not lead. and so, this election is rightly about the state of the economy as a source of strength for international leadership. >> madam secretary, let's talk about a couple items in the news, specifically starting with russia, and of course, the impact on syria there. in your experience with vladimir putin, how do you get russia to come to the table on this? >> well, you may not be able to get russia to come to the table. the russians have a view under vladimir putin that is really a kind of 19th-century view of foreign policy. you intimidate your neighbors, as they tried to do with georgia. they have a fast friend, they believe, in bashar al assad. syria has been the center of russia's middle eastern policy. and i'm not certain that we can bring them. they ought to be embarrassed by being a part of the support

structure for a dictator who is murdering his own people every day, but if they are not, then we have to make alliance with those who wish to see bashar al assad overthrown. that's most of the states in the region and including some powerful states like turkey that are now beginning to suffer from the instability that turkey is bringing. we saw this downing of turkish aircraft. and so, let's make alliance with those who understand that syria will never be stable with bashar al assad in place. let's help the opposition to organize. and syria will be better off with bashar al assad and so will the middle east. >> you say help the opposition to organize. do you support, like senator mccain does, arming the rebels? >> well, the first thing you've got to do is to get a political structure that can be on the ground and running when assad is finally gone, and a lot of work has to be done to bring that political alliance together. and in fact, the turks have been very active in doing so.

yes, i do believe that you're probably ultimately going to have to arm the opposition, maybe even today, because people are being armed. assad is being armed by the russians and by the iranians. so, it's not as if people are not being armed. and even the opposition is receiving some arms from regional players, some of whom have their own agenda in syria, and the united states, europe, those of us i think who want to see a stable, and ultimately, democratic syria, are going to have to work with the opposition and probably, indeed, arm them with a political framework, rather than what i fear is happening now, which is that various fragments are being armed in accordance with regional players who have different agendas. >> let me bring this back full circle to politics. we started at the retreat. because of your speech, there

has been some ground swell of enthusiasm about the possibility, because of your experience, because of your sense of resonance with america, that you might be the ideal running mate for mitt romney. >> charlie, i didn't run for student council president. i don't see myself in any way in elected office. i love policy. i'm not particularly fond of politics. governor romney's going to make president. he's got terrific judgment. there is a deep -- >> you are not saying you're turning it down if he calls, are you? >> i'm saying there is no way that i will do this, because it's really not me. i know my strengths, and governor romney needs to find someone who wants to run with him. there are many people who will do it very, very well, and i'll support the ticket. >> that's a no or that's it's not going to happen? >> that's it's not going to happen. and no. >> thank you very much. good to see you. >> thank you, charlie. it's nice to talk to you. dylan mcdermott played a lawyer on "the practice," however, he was more like a

a mystery has haunted dylan mcdermott for 35 years. just how did his mother die? until now, the official story was she either committed suicide or was accidentally shot in the head. >> at mcdermott's request, police decided take another look. terrell brown reports that the evidence led them to a very different conclusion. terrell, good morning. >> charlie, good morning to you. at the time, police in waterbury, connecticut, didn't think foul play was involved in the death of diane mcdermott, but in 2010, they reopened the case, and after an exhaustive investigation, they now think they know what really happened on that fateful day in 1967. dylan mcdermott actually heard his mother's final moments. diane mcdermott was having a

through newspaper clippings, reinterviewed witnesses and took a closer look at the autopsy report. they discovered diane mcdermott was shot in the back of the head at point blank range. >> it was a close-contact execution type of a gun wound. >> reporter: they now believe she was murdered by her boyfriend at the time, john sponza, a man with ties to organized crime. >> he was a con artist, he was a criminal, he was a drug addict. he enjoyed terrorizing and torturing people. >> reporter: still, police at the time believed sponza's multiple explanations for her death. the new police chief thinks the original investigation wasn't very thorough. >> it was very clear to me that something was terribly wrong with the investigation that was done back in 1967. >> rep

subway. >> frantic calls began to flood 911. >> on the subway, my god, i can't see anything. >> every major city has plans in the event of a terrorist attack. >> this is the part of operation edge. do you understand? >> do you understand that this is an exercise? >> in a real crisis would the plans work? the small group that designed the drill disclosed almost nothing to the first responders who participated. they didn't even know it was a bombing on the subway until they arrived at the scene. >> we kept the information hidden from the main players including myself as to the specifics of the emergency that was going to be simulated. >> almost immediately problems surfaced at the command post and communications issues between departments. underground, confusion over a life and death issue. did the rescuers follow

procedure and retreat until the bomb squad handled the other suspected ieds or risk it and rescue the victims while the bomb squad worked. the bombs and the victims weren't real. the pressure and the decisions were. they call it stressing the exercise, building the pressure on the players as the scenario unfolds, and having the unpredictable event introduced into the scenario and building the pressure enough so things will go wrong because in real life that's the way it goes. >> it is very easy to carefully script an exercise like this and provide that script to all the participants in advance. we can come out here and go through the script and at the end of the day we can pat each other on the back and say what a great job we did and learn nothing. >> there were 30 some and six major traumas. >> the designer of the exercise, bomb squad commander tom fitzpatrick added another wild

card and another lesson learned. near the command post an out of town ambulance went unnoticed. inside a 900 pound bomb meant to kill the first responders. it was an important element borrowed from a real worltd terrorist plot. in fact, it was london, 2007, a car bomb found right where police had set up their command post after a terrorist incident. two years earlier the london subway bombings killed 52 people. the madrid train bombings in 2004 killed nearly 200. everything in the philadelphia drill had actually happened. >> anybody from here to the end of the car is dead. >> in the end, not everything went according to plan. from the start that was the plan. >> it gives our guys a chance to see what went wrong so it is a lot of lessons learned today and it is a training tool. >> we faltered along the way but we regrouped and worked our way

collectively through the problems that we were confronted with and that's the way things happen in real life. >> we both want to talk to you. what determines success? >> what determines success is failure. i used to run an l.a. massive drills, i did a terrorist attack on the airport, a chemical attack on a mall, and you didn't want things to go too well because you wrebt putting enough pressure on the players and the lessons of what would happen under the pressures. >> what's the take away from the philadelphia experience? seems like a worthwhile exercise. >> it was a great exercise. the take away is they'll end up in a meeting with police and fire and emergency management and they'll say what does the book say and what did real life teach us as we tried to

and gen stacey and i am a huge fan of emma stone from the movies i had seen her in and i had just seen the social network with garfield in it and he was fantastic, and so when i sat down to dinner on the first day and i knew i was taking it and i said to my wife, guess what, they're making a new spider-man and i am in it and she was screaming at the top of her lungs. i am a bat man guy. the thing i liked about his take is it was going to be darker and it was going to be more character oriented because my favorite bat man stuff is the stuff they're doing now with christian bale, and it was really great, these kids, emma and andrew, the real deal. >> he was in death of a salesman. >> fantastic. >> and this kid, mark wanted to shoot a lot of stuff without cgi and doing too much green screen and this kid trained with the armstrong brothers, dick and andy, the stunt guys, and he was doing a lot of the stuff you see in the movies, the swinging and

bouncing off the trucks and these crazy stunts and he was doing them himself. there are stunts that haven't been seen before. it is really, yeah. >> a great picture over here. o ahead. t picture over here. >> sorry, go ahead. >> really amazing. >> look at this picture here. this is a great family. >> good-looking family, yes. >> she would say instantly do spider-man because? >> because she loves spider-man and, you know, she is a smart woman. >> do you go to her for advice in terms of what roles you should take or not take? >> i do talk to her about what is coming in, you know. a lot of times something like this like i said i knew she would say yes to, so my kids, the great thing about this is my kids like i guess anybody, any dad, my kids don't think i am cool. >> they do not? >> once my kids -- when she were small and i was in the first ice age movies they thought that was cool and then they were at the age where i had to drop them off

two blocks from school in the morning and they would say stuff like don't make jokes when the friends are under a. now they're coming to the premiere with me in l.a. on thursday because i guess this is a cool movie. >> and now they're thinking dad is cool. >> yeah, but i am expecting them thursday at the premiere to say don't stand too close to us. great. >> you have such a great looking family and your son, he is in college, out of college? >> just graduated, yeah. >> so i always think when you go to college graduation, the commencement speeches can be so deadly boring. how was yours? >> are you talking about the one i gave? >> the one you gave, no, the one you went to with your son? >> i tell you what, it is emotional because obviously it is that you are proud and also you start to cry and all of that stuff that happens. the other worry is that it goes on for too long. i have to say that david gregory spoke and he was absolutely hilarious. i didn't know he was funny. >> he is very funny.

>> a great mimic, too. >> he was fantastic. >> you are talking about you doing a commencement speech. i am thinking if denis leary was my commencement speaker everybody would remember what you say. what did you say. >> this is what i say. i spoke at my alma mater, and i got a fake doctorate. i didn't have to do any work for it like bill cosby but i am a doctor, dr. denis leary, can we put that on? i remember when i graduated and governor michael dukakis spoke and spoke for about an hour and a half and felt like seven months, and we just wanted to go out and we wanted -- we worked for four years and one of the things is take the pictures with the parents and party. right? when i got up there, my speech was a minute and a half long. i basically said life is going to suck from this point on. you just have the best four years of your life and now it is all death and taxes and disappointment and let's get out of here and start drinking and i got a standing ovation that lasted longer ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

welcome back to "cbs this morning." we had such a great conversation during the commercial break. we said, denis, don't leave, don't leave! >> i'm still here. >> and he said you're prying me out of this chair with my dead body. >> and i'm the fourth host? >> one of the things that's interesting is you live for the news every morning. >> yep. >> first thing you do, online, what's going on. >> yep. >> and comedians do as well, all comedians do, because that's the blood for them to be what they are. >> yeah. i mean, i'm a sports nut, too,

so of course i want to get those scores and the things i didn't get the night before. but yeah, i don't even know how to -- you can't operate. as a comedian, i just can't operate unless i have a sense of what the news was that day. and you know, like we were talking about jon stewart before. you know, sometimes if i've missed a really busy day and missed a lot of the news, you can actually pick up what the day's news was from jon, but i have to get that information at some point. and sometimes, it's always the amazing thing when i turn to somebody and i go, you know, did you hear about blah, blah, blah? and they go, no, when did that happen? i'm like, it was all over the news this morning! >> i know, you're not paying attention. what's your take on politics, on the political season? i'd love to hear what you think. >> i don't know what to think right now. >> really? >> meaning? >> meaning i don't know which way it's going to go. i keep waiting. it's like baseball to me. this is like the baseball season, doesn't mean anything until we get to september and october. that's when we'll really get into the playoffs. so, a lot of the stuff that's going on now i don't really care about.

but to me, the most interesting part about the politics is really the primaries when you get to see everybody, who's going to make a fool of themselves, step on land mines, and i love that. so, we know land mines are coming between these two guys, so that's really when baseball heats up in september and october is when it's, you know, romney and obama, you know. >> but you pay attention to what's happening with the red sox. >> oh, yeah. >> yeah. >> yeah, i know. >> but you've said to me earlier, when i reminded you that we had had you take us on the new 100 anniversary of fenway park and the red sox have a new manager, bobby valentine. >> yep. >> they've done some trading. >> yep. >> they're building. and so, you say that's fine with me? >> i think it's fantastic. listen, and also, i have to say that as a red sox fan, we won in 2004 and 2007. 2004 was a dream. we beat your yankees four in a row. >> my yankees. >> 2007 was great being a surprise. i lived my whole life, my dad came to this country in 1950 and became a red sox fan and lived his whole life and died without seeing the red sox win.

2004, i was done. like my son, my son every day, i can't believe they're doing this, i can't believe, but i'm already thinking miles ahead because i'm an old red sox fan. i know, you know, we've got time to develop these young kids. i don't -- if we have to sacrifice this season, that's fine with me. >> there's one thing about me you don't know that will make you jealous, only one. i got to know ted williams. >> did you really? >> spent time with him, had conversations with him, had baseballs signed by him. >> look at him, "did you really?" >> he was the most impressive man. >> the real john wayne. >> yeah, the real john wayne. >> he was a jet fighter pilot and was the greatest hitter in the history of baseball. >> right. last hitter to hit .400, but such a charismatic guy. >> yeah. i would have loved to have met him. >> every red sox fan i know -- >> you know, i heard ant view with him one time on the radio with bob costas, 25 years ago. he was talking about hitting. i was driving home from a comedy gig in boston, and it was on the radio. when i turned the radio on, i thought john wayne was being

interviewed. i realized the timber of the voice was exactly the same. if you closed your eyes and you were listening to ted williams talk, it would sound like john wayne, except he was the real john wayne, because he actually went to war twice. >> i know. >> and gave up, you know, like six years -- >> and the great thing about ted williams is he had this extraordinary vision, better than 20/20, as it would be with a pilot, and he saw the plate once and was about a millimeter off and they said, no, it's not, so they measured it and he was right. >> i think it's astonishing. you probably talked about this before, but there's an hbo special about george bush sr. that's on right now. >> oh, "41." >> yeah, "41," that's actually fantastic to witness him or a guy like ted williams, who said it as well. when george bush sr. talks about when he -- and they have the footage of him being rescued when he had to crash his jet into the ocean, right? >> saw that, yeah. >> he talks about it like it was a double and he slid in to second base. >> yeah. >> it's like, yeah, then they picked me up and whatever. like, they were talking.

these guys were genuine heroes, and these things that certainly my generation never did. on you know, we're worried about where the remote is and these guys are real heroes. >> bush 41 says maybe i could have done more -- >> i know, i know. >> rather than it's extraordinary. >> that's why it's the greatest generation, if you think about it. that's what people talk about when they say that. >> denis, before you go -- >> there's still a lot of those men around, navy s.e.a.l.s, our firefighters, our cops, the military's full of them. it's just, it's extraordinary people, you know? i mean, what we do is really what we do, but what those people do is really -- >> have you developed a relationship with firefighters because of the series? >> well, it was actually before that. my cousin, jerry lucy, became a firefighter, as did a lot of the guys i went to school with, who went to the same school for 12 years in my neighborhood. and about 30 or 40 of those guys became firefighters, and he died in the line of duty in 1999 along with five other firefighters up in worcester, massachusetts, and i started my foundation to help those guys, but one of my best friends here, terri quinn, became a firefighter when we were in our

20s, and that led me into the new york department. so, again, my admiration is never-ending, and i just, i look at those guys -- you guys just did that piece about firefighters and terror alerts. you know, they're really our first responders. on 9/11, those were our first responders. i just can't say enough about them, just what they do. >> oh, they're great. >> it never ceases tostonnic me. >> before you go, charlie said something that clearly made you a little jealous. is there something about you that would make charlie jealous? one sentence. >> i can tell you one right away, your family. >> yeah, my family. i'm the luckiest guy in the world. i really am. i'm a broken-down hockey player who couldn't do math and science, and you know, the nuns kept telling me nothing good was going to happen, and this one nun put me into play and she saved my life. so you know, i'm that lucky. then meeting my wife was the best idea i ever had. >> great having you here. >> well, we thank the nun. >> sister rosemary sullivan. yeah, she saved my life. >> thank you, doctor. >> i can't believe you called me

dr. leary. just ahead, they're legends in their field.,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

i remember i used to have a pop tent. i lived in this pop tent out here during the summer, and my dad had called out of the back door to wake me up and i'd have to stick my hand out of the tent to let him know i was awake. i slept on a cot in a little pop tent so i could be out closer to my chickens. i think that's why i was out there. >> everybody likes to be close to their chickens. legendary singer and songwriter neil young goes back to his hometown in the new film "neil young journeys." he takes us on that trip to visit his roots just before taking the stage at toronto's massey hall last year. >> the movie directed by oscar winner jonathan demme, is the third concert film these two

have made together, and we're delighted to have them both right here in studio 57. welcome. >> thank you very much. >> a great collaboration, the two of you. what makes it work? >> we like each other is a start. we have fun, you know? we respect each other, and so it's a give-and-take thing. it's a good relationship. >> good. good. it began with "southern man" and the title sequence? >> well, "southern man," i attempted to see if it would be possible to get a neil young song that addressed, you know, homophobia and aids prejudice in the same way that "southern man" addressed racism. and neil wrote that very beautiful song, "philadelphia." >> oh, no, he nailed it at the end. part of the lyrics, "city of brotherly love, place i call home, don't turn your back on me, i don't want to be alone. love lasts forever." i remember, neil, at the end of the movie, and the song comes and your voice, that velvety, liquidy voice of yours. you're like a puddle when you're

in the chair listening to that. you knew instantly, jonathan, that that's going to work? >> oh, my god, yeah. >> yes. neil, how do you describe your voice? i describe -- >> oh, i try to stay away from that one. >> do you? >> oh, yeah. i'll let other people describe. they can do that. >> i'll stick with velvet liquid, but this is what i learned about you. i love on the documentary, you and jonathan are going in a car, you're driving, and you say the best place for you to listen to music is in a car, and it doesn't matter what kind of radio it is. it could be a cheap radio, because i think most musicians think they need to have an elaborate sound system. about the you said, nope, the best place to listen to it is in a car. why? why is that? >> because you're moving. it's like a constantly changing picture. music and a changing picture is comfortable. if you stay in one place listening to music, it's hard for you to close your eyes. >> i guess it. >> if you're driving, i don't think you should do that don't close your eyes. >> no, we shouldn't do that.

>> i fight that all the time. >> listen to more than music. you're inside your own car and you're moving -- >> you're inside your own space. >> exactly. having done these, what do you look for? take "journeys." what are you looking for you don't know about this guy? what do you want us to see, hear, feel? >> you know, if you boil down to the earlier question, you know, what makes it work when we work together? it's neil's music, it's his songwriti songwriting, it's his musicianship, it's the character he assumes when he sings songs. so, my job is just to try to, as best i possibly can, figure out how we can kind of cinematically get inside these songs and get inside his themes and put them on screen as best we possibly can. in terms of the way "neil young journe journeys" wound up, it's a film,

but argumently a documentary. and we never want to repeat ourselves. the first film we did was "neil young heart of gold," the most elegant music film you can do, well designed. this piece is different because neil is alone on stage, and therefore, we're deprived of the ingredient that we had going for us on the other movies, which was the way neil interacts with the other musicians. >> but you shot it -- it almost looked like there were cameras on the guitar, cameras in the car, cameras everywhere. i heard you had six cameras at one point, true? because it's very simply shot. >> well, we have six camera operators, and then declan quinn, our whiz genius director of photography has little icon cameras, and they're about the size of a cigarette pack. and he attached them to unlikely places. and yeah, we were very excited with what came up with those. >> and when you write a song,

how do you do those? what are you looking for? >> i don't do anything. >> it comes to you. >> yeah, i just wait. it's like a hunter, you know, looking for a rabbit. they come out of the hole. but if you stand there looking down the hole -- >> you can't. >> -- it's not going to come out. i'm going to hang out over here. >> you're waiting for what? what are you waiting for? >> waiting for the rabbit. >> yeah, i know. >> i'm waiting for the rabbit to come out of the hole, and that's the song, see, so that's my little metaphor. >> but at one point in the documentary, charlie, there's the thing where you get so excited, it almost looks like you spit on the camera. it's created in -- >> i did spit on the camera. >> oh, you did spit? i wasn't sure, neil, what that was. >> that was phlegm. >> it was saliva it was not phlegm. >> was it saliva? it's saliva cam. another demme first, saliva cam. i saw that, i went, god, it's so psychedelic! it's all distorted. he's gone like out over the deep

end. people think he's a little bit of a straight filmmaker, but there's no way! no way! he's gone psychedelic on this movie. >> well, this happens to be a song where neil puts himselves in the shoes of a human being who's experimented with every drug known to man over the course of his lifetime and it's kind of a deranged, unhinged song that arrives at an exquisite moment of redemption, and it's our next to last song. and when, as fate would have it, the little camera attached to the microphone to get this amazing close-up we used in one other song without saliva cam. it just so happened that when neil unleashed the song, you know, as half the singers spew a little bit, and bam, the camera slipped. maybe it's because the saliva hit it. camera slipped down a little bit and we found -- >> changed the angle a bit. >> and it became the perfect shot to convey this deranged kind of journey that the singer takes. >> i take back what i said about you being straight. i take it back let's get that

straight. >> there's nothing auto biographical about that song, is there? >> yeah. >> no. >> no, yes. >> are they all auto biographical? >> some of them aren't. >> which are the most that are autobiographical. >> well, you know, almost all of them. i'm being as direct as i can. you know, really, they are all. i mean, you know, "crime in the city." they come out of me, and i'm just here. >> you love every bit of it. >> i really do, charlie, you know? it's not all great while it's happening, but i'm just really glad to be here for it. >> and so are we. >> yeah. beautiful music. >> thank you. thank you, gentlemen. >> thank you, charlie. thanks, gayle. >> "journeys" is the film, directed by john demme, starring neil young. >> it pays to have a little patience in life. this morning, author frank partnoy will tell us why it's

♪ waiting is the hardest part hello, shreveport, louisiana. we live in a fast-paced world that values decisions more than indecision, but frank partnoy says watch out for snap judgments. patience and timing are much better keys to success. >> indeed. so, what do you mean here, that we should procrastinate or we should delay for a moment before we act? >> i think procrastination has gotten a bad name, and i think part of what we're talking about is procrastinating, but delaying a little bit in all of our decisions. we know a lot from psychologists and behavioral economists about how we make decisions and what we should decide, and so one of the things i wanted to explore is when. how long should we delay various decisions? and one of the things i found

looking at all kinds of areas from sports to apologies to dating is that over and over, people make better decisions and they're happier when they delay. >> by how much? by how much? >> so, it depends on what the decision is. so, for example, if you're going out on a first date, often it could be an hour would be the right amount of time. if you're looking at a photo of someone, you'll make a snap decision. you'll make a snap judgment based on how attractive they are, what they look like, and that kind of snap judgment sometimes can be dangerous. so, it's just lunch is an international dating network that tells people, go to lunch, spend the entire lunch, don't make a snap judgment out of the gate. wait until the end of lunch. then at the end of lunch, make a decision about whether you'd like to see this person again. >> but is there a specific amount of time? because you say at one point, if you have an hour, wait 59 minutes. if you have a year, wait 365 days. that feels like the wrong kind of procrastination. >> so, the challenge is to figure out what kind of time world you're living in. basically, there are two steps to it. one is to figure out what's the maximum amount of time that i

can wait, how much delay for this particular kind of act. so, for example, if you're apologizing, how long should you wait to apologize? and then the second thing is, within that time frame to wait as long as you possibly can. and it depends on the -- for apologies, for example, if i just accidentally spilled a drink on you, if i spilled my water on you, then i should apologize right away, because i didn't intend to do anything wrong. but for more serious apologies, we should take time, because we need for the person we've wronged to be able to process information about what it is that we did and why, and they need time to vent also. and if we apologize too quickly, then we won't be effective. >> there's also something to be said for spontaneity, but let me come to what you wrote in "financial times." it is about tennis players, and you look at novak and you say to yourself, he's better because he can delay for a nanosecond, and therefore, his game is better. >> it's surprising, isn't it? we think about him or jimmy conners, maybe the best returner

of all time, we think they're good because they're fast, but they're good because they're slow. they're able to take the 500 mi miliseconds that they have available when the ball's speeding in, perfect their stroke, so they only need about a fifth of that for their swing, so they free up as much time as possible to take in information about the speed and trajectory of the ball. it's almost miraculous that they do all this. it's not even conscious, they're taking in all this information. one of the things i found was that this kind of approach of delaying, taking in information that tennis players follow is a approach we should follow for longer decisions in our lives. >> you also say that lunch is the best time to make a decision. i thought that was really interesting. >> well, and i -- >> lunchtime. >> lunchtime is a great time to make decisions. and i worked for morgan stanley in their tokyo office briefly, and there was a lunch break. the stock markets traded throughout the morning, and then we took 90 minutes off, and then they traded in the afternoon, and it would be great if we could do that in the u.s. markets, to take a break and pause and think about what it is we're about to do instead of rushing head long into our

trades. >> frank, thank you so much for, ,,,,,,,,,,

>> good morning everyone. one man is dead and another in critical condition after a house fire in oakland this morning. both victims suffered smoke inhalation and at this point there's nothing to suggest this morning's fire was intentionally set. the estimated damages $350,000. another mistrial request in the case of a man accused of beating a priest. william lynch is accused of attacking father gerald linder. the father returned to the witness stand but refused to answer questions of the judge struck his earlier testimony from the record including him identifying lynch as the man who attacked in two years ago. attorneys are meeting with the

judge at this hour >> we will start warming things up around the bay area with mostly sunny skies outside right now. we expect sunshine and warmer weather into the afternoon. maybe a return to low 80s inland. members will work out very nicely, very comfortable in san jose at 76. a little bit breezy in san francisco and about 82 degrees in fairfield. the next few days we will try to warm those temperatures up a little bit further. patchy fog and cool at the coast line. saturday and sunday we start to cool down again.

>> check out this camera, a live look at conditions across the san mateo bridge. it is really backed up on west down 92 with a traffic alert in effect. it is backed up solidly all the way towards the toll plaza. let's look at the bay bridge toll plaza where westbound 80 is backed up all the way to the maze. it is the eastbound lanes of 80 on the lower deck approaching treasure island, there was a spill and one lane was blocked for a while. a traffic alert
